Decided to experiment with making filled chocolates. Never one to do things the easy way my first trial involved alcohol and fruit!

Melted the chocolate and filled the molds, turned upside down over the bowl (of chocolate) and left to set. When nearly set scraped off the excess chocolate.

Boiled some Cherry Bounce with sugar to create a syrup, chopped up some bounced cherries. Filled the (now completely set) molds with some of each.

Covered with chocolate and left to set. Again once nearly set scraped off the excess.

Leave to set thoroughly and remove from mold.

Et voila!

Now, there are a few problems.. but for a first attempt I’m mostly happy with them.

– I over boiled the syrup so it set hard.. I was aiming for syrup or to set soft and gooey

– Because of this I had to pour it into the chocolates still hot and it melted some of the chocolate shell

– The bottoms are a mess! I need way more practice at that. When I scraped the excess off, most of what was supposed to stay there came with it!

btw – the name’s because the molds look suspiciously like nipples
